A homeschooling family is trying to arrange an escape from Germany before authorities can complete a court action that would give the state custody of their five children, according to a pro-family advocacy organization.

 "As the mayor knows that the family wants to leave Germany and that they have deregistered, his attempt is that the family court takes custody away in a so-called … (preliminary warrant) which means that custody can be taken away without a hearing [for] the parents," he said. "The final decision of the court can be pronounced later, but its intention is to prevent the parents from leaving the country with the children."

He said in this case, authorities are seeking to deprive the parents of their right to make decisions about their children's schooling as well as their right "to determine the place of abode."

He compared the actions of the German government to those more usually associated with the old East Germany or Soviet Union in that "not only parental rights are limited more and more, also the right to choose where you want to live is restricted."

Home-Schooled German Boy Returned to Family

Thursday, February 04, 2010

 A 10-year-old German boy the government had removed from his home for being home-schooled has been returned to his mother.

Dan Shulz was taken in an early morning police raid in 2006 when he was just 7-years-old.

He could be heard on videotape pleading with German police to let him stay with his family.

His mother kept him out of school, because of fears that her estranged husband might kidnap him. The boy had been home-schooled and began attending a private Christian school one day before the raid.

In Germany, where home-schooling is illegal, home-schooled children are routinely taken from their families. Dan was kept in state custody for more than three years.

His mother, Heidi, is calling her son's return "a miracle."
